The interior designer Andrée Putman had an outlook of radical simplicity that made her seem perpetually modern. She provided interiors in 1985 for the office in Paris of the French minister of culture, with its half-moon desk, still in service and loved; in 1990 for Bordeaux’s contemporary art museum; and in 1994 for a revamp of the cabin of Concorde. She also designed the sets for Peter Greenaway’s 1996 film The Pillow Book.
